Attacks

My sister once told me that she never met anyone that Satan would attack quite as much as me.   It's so clear that every time I make great strides to get my life in order, something happens.  

I started coughing Friday night when I went to bed.  I thought it was odd because I'd felt fine all day and even then.   Saturday morning, I was a wee bit stuffy, but nothing unusual.  Sunday it was getting a bit worse, so I got Robitussin to add to my line up of meds.   Then Monday morning I was exhausted, so I stayed in bed until shortly after noon, when a coworker called.   My voice sounded so deep and manly that she thought she had the wrong number.   While I was trying to tell her it was me, I started coughing uncontrollably.   Now it had decided to stick around.    The purple bags under my eyes were further proof.

I worked Monday night, but noticed a few times that I felt very odd; like I was trying to fight off a fever, maybe.   Then I noticed that the stairs I can usually jog up and down, wore me out!!    I was exhausted once I got to the top.   I knew I couldn't breathe deeply without setting off a coughing fit, but this weakness reminded me of when I had bronchitis.    I don't want that, so I'm taking meds and trying to let my body have as much rest as it needs.  

Today, my eyes kept watering, I kept sneezing, my nose was runny like a faucet, and my throat was killing me.   My right leg hurt all last night and this morning also.    I called in sick to work and finally crawled out of bed at 6:30 to eat something and take medicine.  (I weighed 203.8 when I got up.)

Two cans of chicken noodle soup, 3/4 cup strawberries, and 1/8 cup blueberries was my dinner.

For now, I'll sit at the table, drink water, work on my computer, and do laundry until my body tells me to go to bed again.    I have too many things to do tomorrow to call in sick for work, so this day HAS to be the cure!   :p


(My personal/emotional life has hit a small snag also, so reevaluation is needed.)


Like I said….attacks.   You'd think I'd be looking out for it better.   Well, stubbornness can be a good thing when I direct it towards goals like NOT STAYING DOWN!!   :)

Tomorrow is a fresh start!
